Computer Design

Lecturer: Dr S.W. Moore

No. of lectures: 18

Prerequisite course: Digital Electronics

This course is a prerequisite for the Part II courses Comparative Architectures and System-on-Chip Design.

Aims

The aims of this course are to introduce a hardware description
language (Verilog) and computer architecture concepts in order to
design computer systems. This is an amalgam of the former ECAD and
Computer Design courses.

There are 18 lectures which cover design with hardware description
languages, computer architecture and then computer implementation. A
web based tutor (equivalent of 4 lectures) is used to teach much of
the Verilog hardware description language.
